So the original roadtrip plan has drastically changed in the last 2 days. Instead of heading to Marfa, TX and then on to Santa Fe, NM and then to Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, etc..we decided to screw it! Cause you know what..we're tired of driving 6 hours a day, eating out all the time, unpacking and repacking the car every day and spending money on hotels. While it would have been fun to explore those areas, we just ain't in the mood no more.
After Brownsville, we headed to Kerrville, in Hill Country (mighty pretty there), then north to Abilene (mighty ugly there). And today we have FINALLY gotten out of Texas and crossed into the Great Plains of Oklahoma. Lawton to be exact. We're here for 2 nights. Thought we might go hiking in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge tomorrow where the deer and the antelope play (and the prairie dogs!!!). It's the oldest mountain range in North America don't cha know. We're very excited about spending the day out of the Fuego. After Lawton we'll make our way through Oklahoma and Missouri and then to Illinois, destination Chicago, to hang out with our friends Kate and Sonny. Really looking forward to that!
Still giddy about being able to brush our teeth with the tap water, flush toilet paper down the toilet, drive on highways that are properly signed and perhaps the best thing of all..no more topes!!! Taking a break from the rice, beans and tortillas is pretty nice too.
Till next time,
Amee and Jean
